Description

Electric lamp.
The invention relates to an electric lamp comprising: an envelope of a light-transmitting material with a neck and a light source; a lamp cap provided with contacts and fixed around a free end portion of the neck; and cuπent conductors extending from the light source through the free end portion of the neck and electrically connected to the contacts of the lamp cap.
Such an electric lamp is known from EP-0 758 486. The known lamp is a reflector lamp because the envelope is internally partly reflectorized. The light source in the known lamp is mechanically fixed in a plate. The plate and the light source are fixed in the neck of the envelope by means of cement. The current conductors passed through the free end portion of the neck issue into the lamp cap, which is hollow. The lamp cap has a helically threaded contact around its axis and a central contact situated on its axis. The current conductors of the light source are flexible and are guided towards the contacts of the lamp cap in the hollow lamp cap, for example in that they are bent, and are fixed to these contacts by means of welding or soldering.
It is a disadvantage of the known lamp that the creation of the electrical contact between the current conductors of the light source and the contacts of the lamp cap by welding or soldering is a comparatively labor-intensive and cumbersome process. This process is also made more difficult by the size of the light source, which leaves comparatively little space for achieving the contacting. In addition, welding or soldering is a process which is comparatively bad for the environment. An undesirable bending of the flexible current conductors may take place as a result of external forces, such as shocks and impacts, because the cuπent conductors in the hollow lamp cap of the known lamp are not screened off from one another. This means that the known lamp has the additional disadvantage that there is a comparatively high risk of short-circuiting in that the cuπent conductors approach one another too closely, or even touch one another, owing to the inadvertent bending. It is an object of the invention to provide an electπc lamp of the kind descnbed in the opening paragraph which has a comparatively safe construction and which renders possible a simple assembly of the lamp
According to the invention, this object is achieved in that an insulator body provided with connection conductors is accommodated in the lamp cap for electrically interconnecting the cuπent conductors and the contacts of the lamp cap. The connection conductors are guided through the insulator body through respective channels The channels are separated from one another. The cuπent conductors and the connection conductors electπcally connected thereto are mechanically screened from one another by the insulator body in this way This renders the lamp comparatively safe because the πsk of short- circuitmg through the cuπent conductors touching each other has been reduced The channels in the insulator body compπse recesses. An end of the connection conductor, which compπses, for example, a ferrule, extends into this recess, while another end of the connection conductor is electπcally connected to the contact of the lamp cap, for example by means of a resilient contact. The resilient contact has the advantage that the electπcal connection between the connection conductor and the contact on the lamp cap can be achieved without welding or soldeπng. This simplifies lamp assembly and is better for the environment. The cuπent conductor makes electπcal contact with the connection conductor in that it is inserted as far as possible into the recess The electπcal contacting of the cuπent conductor with the contact on the lamp cap via the connection conductor is thus achieved in a comparatively simple manner. This further simplifies the lamp assembly
In an embodiment, the envelope is internally reflectoπzed between the neck and the light emission window. The reflector body thus formed has a concave light- concentrating portion with an optical center and is present between the neck and the light emission window. The light source is arranged axially in the optical center The light generated by the light source can be formed into a beam and aimed in a simple manner by means of the reflector body of the reflector lamp thus obtained.
In an embodiment, the insulator body is made of synthetic resin, porcelain, glass, or a ceramic mateπal. It is favorable for the use of the lamp at comparatively high temperatures when the insulator body is made of porcelain, glass, or ceramic mateπal on account of the good temperature resistance of porcelain, glass, and ceramic mateπal. If the lamp is to be used at comparatively low temperatures, the insulator body is preferably made of a synthetic resin because an insulator body of synthetic resin can be simply and inexpensively manufactured It is favorable for a reproducible position of the insulator body in the lamp cap when the insulator body is provided with a recess which cooperates with the lamp cap The insulator body is secured in the lamp cap in that the lamp cap is indented into said recess The insulator body and the lamp cap are locked thereby against a mutual rotation about the axis Such a rotation may occur as a result of torsional forces, for example while the lamp is being screwed into or from a lummaire In addition, the assembly of the electπc lamp is further simplified thereby because an additional position definition of the insulator body in the lamp cap with respect to the light source is avoided Furthermore, the πsk is reduced that short- circuits may aπse between the cuπent conductors in the lamp cap owing to a rotation of the insulator body with respect to the lamp cap
In a favorable embodiment of the electπc lamp, the connection conductor compπses a first end which is chosen from a group formed by resilient clamps and scraping contacts The advantage of such a first end is that it has a clamping and fixing action whereby the current conductor is retained therein The πsk that the electπcal contact between the cuπent conductor and the contact on the lamp cap will be broken is reduced m this mannei The light source in the known lamp is aligned and fixed in the neck of the envelope by means of cement, for example lamp cement It is a disadvantage in the case of a reflector lamp, however, that cement, also after cuπng, evolves volatile components which may reduce the reflecting power of the reflector body In the lamp according to the invention, the use of cement for this purpose is avoided because a reproducible fixed position of the insulator body in the lamp cap is achieved in that the insulator body is enclosed with narrow fit in the lamp cap For this purpose, the insulator body may have, for example, a helically threaded surface, in which case the insulator body can be screwed into the lamp cap, which compπses a helically threaded contact, in a rotational movement Since the insulator body is fixed in the lamp cap, it has become possible to fix the light source aligned in the reflector lamp in conjunction with the clamping/fixing first end A yet further simplification in the lamp assembly is achieved as well thereby
In a further favorable embodiment of the electπc lamp, at least one connection conductor compπses at the same time one contact of the lamp cap Since a separate welding or soldeπng operation for the electπcal connection of the connection conductor and the contact of the lamp cap is avoided, the assembly of the lamp is still further simplified and has a lesser impact on the environment In addition, an even more reliable electπcal contacting is achieved in this way The light source may be an incandescent body, possibly in an atmosphere comprising halogen, or a discharge path between electrodes in an ionizable medium, for example metal halides in rare gas, possibly with mercury. The lamp vessel may be made from glass, for example hard glass or glass with an SiO2 content of at least 95% by weight such as, for example, quartz glass, or monocrystalline or polycrystalline material such as, for example, aluminum oxide. The lamp vessel may be suπounded by an outer bulb.
The reflector lamp may be provided with a light-transmitting cover which is fastened to the reflector body and which closes off the light emission window.
An embodiment of the lamp according to the invention is shown in the drawing, in which
Fig. 1 shows a lamp in axial sectional view with the lamp cap broken away;
Fig. 2 is an axial sectional view of a detail of the lamp cap of Fig. 1 ; and Fig. 3 is a connection conductor in side elevation.
In Fig. 1, the electric lamp is a reflector lamp with an envelope 1 of a light- transmitting material, of molded glass in the Figure, which is internally partly reflectorized. The reflector body 1 thus obtained has a concave light-concentrating portion 4 between a neck 5 and a light emission window 6, and an axis 2 and an optical center 3. The reflector body may be reflectorized by means of a metal layer, for example of silver or aluminum, or alternatively an interference filter. The light-concentrating portion is the body of revolution of a branch of a parabola which has been pivoted towards the axis with its focus in the optical center. A light-transmitting glass cover 7 is fastened, by means of epoxy resin in the Figure, to the reflector body, thus closing off the light emission window 6. A lamp cap 10 provided with contacts 11 is fixed around a free end portion 8 of the neck 5 in that it has been indented into recesses 9. Alternatively, however, the lamp cap may be fixed by means of an adhesive, for example a glue. A light source 20 present in a light-transmitting outer bulb 21, made of quartz glass in the Figure and closed in a gastight manner, is axially arranged in the optical center 3. The light source in the Figure is a discharge path between tips 29 of the cuπent conductors 26 acting as electrodes in a ceramic lamp vessel 30 filled with rare gas, mercury, and metal halides. Cuπent conductors 26 extend from the light source 20 through a seal 22 of the outer bulb 21 and through the free end portion of the neck 5 to an insulator body 40 accommodated in the lamp cap 10 and are electπcally connected to the contacts 11 of the lamp cap 10
Fig. 2 shows the insulator body 40 which is manufactured from a ceramic mateπal, for example aluminum oxide, and which is provided with narrow fit in the lamp cap 10. The insulator body 40 is for this purpose provided with a threaded portion 41 whose shape coπesponds to the shape of a threaded portion 1 lb of the lamp cap 10. The insulator body 40 compπses channels 42 in which respective connection conductors 43 are present. Each channel 42 compπses a recess 44 into which a first end 45 of the relevant connection conductor extends. The connection conductor in the Figure comprises a scraping contact as its first end 45. The cuπent conductors 26 inserted into the respective recesses 44 are passed through the first ends 45 of the connection conductors 43, 43a and are fixed therein owing to the scraping action of the scraping contacts. The connection conductors 43, 43a make electπcal contact by their second ends 46 with the contacts 11a and 1 lb of the lamp cap 10 In the Figure, the connection conductor 43a compπses the centrally situated contact 11a of the lamp cap 10, while the second end 46 of the connection conductor 43 makes resilient contact with the contact l ib. The channels 42 of the isolator 40 and the connection conductors 43 have corresponding, but relatively small deviating shapes, as to enable a simple insertion of the connection conductors 43 into the isolator body 40 by a transversal movement. Self-clamping of these connection conductors 43 in the isolator body 40 is obtained due to the small deviating shapes and the resiliency of the connection conductors 43.
Fig. 3 shows the connection conductor 43 having the second end 46 and the scraping contact 45 as the first end. The second end 46 is shaped as the centrally situated contact 11a. The scraping contact 45 compπses a rounded opening 47. Due to the dents 48, a cuπent conductor (not shown) that passes through the opening 47 is fixed therein owing to the resilient scraping action of the dents 48 on the cuπent conductor. Thus a reliable electπc contact is realized between the cuπent conductor and the connection conductor 43 compπsing the integral centrally situated contact 11a
